What does PESO mean in Scrabble?
noun
The basic unit of money used in several Spanish-speaking countries, including Mexico, Argentina and the Philippines.
The peso takes its name from the Spanish word for weight, reflecting its origin as a coin whose value came from the weight of the silver it contained. Spain's colonial empire spread the currency across Latin America and the Philippines, and although each country now issues its own peso with its own value, the shared name and history remain. Prices in these countries are quoted in pesos much as prices elsewhere are quoted in dollars or euros.
